Also this week, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment announced that 14 cases of AFM have occurred in the state this year. "Isolation protocols and infection control procedures are in place and we're working with the CDC and the Allegheny County Health Department to further monitor and evaluate the patient conditions".

"The patients are now undergoing diagnostic procedures and treatment", said Andrea Kunicky, a spokeswoman for UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, where the children are being treated. "So, we've seen that there's an association between viruses, specifically enterovirus, in the past". "Among the people confirmed with AFM, CDC did not consistently detect EV-D68 in every patient".

"But just because you catch the virus from somebody that developed AFM, doesn't mean that you will also develop AFM", Dr. Meade explained. Since then, more than 350 cases of the illness have been reported in the USA over a four-year period.

There were two other suspected cases of AFM in the state earlier this year, according to Schultz. But unlike polio, there is no vaccine for AFM.

The health department says there are no specific recommendations for avoiding AFM, but washing your hands, avoiding close contact with sick people, cleaning surfaces with disinfectants, and staying up-to-date on immunizations is recommended.
